How does a failover cluster work with Hyper-V nodes?

Failover cluster is a set of several similar Hyper-V servers (called nodes), which can be specifically configured to work together, so that one node can take the load (VMs, services, processes) if another one goes down or if there is a disaster.

How replication works in Hyper-V?

Hyper-V Replica is an integral part of the Hyper-V role. It contributes to your disaster recovery strategy by replicating virtual machines from one Hyper-V host server to another to keep your workloads available. Hyper-V Replica creates a copy of a live virtual machine to a replica offline virtual machine.

What is the maximum number of nodes that can participate in a Windows Server 2012 failover cluster?

64-nodes
Starting with Windows Server 2012, Failover Clustering can support to up 64-nodes in a single cluster making it industry leading in scale for a private cloud.

What is extend replication?

With Hyper-V Extend Replication feature in Windows Server 2012 R2, customers can have multiple copies of data to protect them from different outage scenarios.

What is the difference between failover and replication?

Fail over means in case of an issue ( e.g. crashed node of a cluster, no network .. ) application will be handled (will run) by different node of a cluster. Depending on setup this can be with or without its downtime / intervention. Replication as in data replication means replicate (copy) data from site A to site B.

What is extend replication Hyper V?

What’s the difference between a planned failover and the failover option when right clicking on the virtual machine and replica?

In the case of a “Planned Failover”, the Hyper-V Primary Server is notified of the operation/action so it takes necessary actions for the primary Virtual Machine. On the other hand, “Unplanned Failover”, which is performed at the Replica Server, does not provide any notification to the Replica Server.

What is Hyper-V reverse replication?

“Reverse Replication” is a manual failback option provided with Replica Virtual Machine! You may wonder; Why not have automatic failback? Well, Hyper-V Replica is a disaster recovery solution and not a high availability solution.

What is failover capacity?

The Current CPU Failover Capacity is computed by subtracting the total CPU resource requirements from the total host CPU resources and dividing the result by the total host CPU resources. The Current Memory Failover Capacity is calculated similarly.

  • How does a Hyper-V replica failover work?

    The Failover Process A failover event is triggered on the target host. The failover event is completed on the target host. The replica virtual machine is now the active copy. When the primary site is recovered or rebuilt, replica is re-established in reverse mode. A planned failover event makes the rebuilt replica in the primary site into the active copy again.
